Abstract (en)

A suture anchor (10,100) is provided having a body (12,102) with at least one suture-receiving channel (24,112) that extends distally from a proximal end of the body. The suture-receiving channel can include a cavity (18) formed in a distal-most end of the body, or it can terminate at a transversely-extending bore (104) formed through the body. The suture anchor can also include a suture loop that is positioned within the suture-receiving channel and cavity or bore, and that includes a proximal portion that extends proximal of the proximal end of the body. <IMAGE>
